Values

The Agile Values were formalized by a group of software development pundits who gathered in Snowbird, Utah in February, 2001 to attempt to collectively grok what all of them recognized as an emergent trend in their various practices. What they emerged with was a new name for what they did–Agile–and an Agile Manifesto that consisted of Values and Principles, and an organization that would eventually be formalized as The Agile Alliance.

About The Agile Dictionary

Welcome to iteration zero of The Agile Dictionary! Our goal with this project is to provide broad, authoritative definitions of common Agile terms. You will note that each definition also includes a section titled “etymology,” where we capture the origins of the term wherever possible.

Visit the definitions by clicking on the letters in the navigation bar, or you can search for a term, above.
